Chapter 25 The first living expenses
The foot bath shop doesn't open until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then stays open until dawn.

But Granny Liu's guests will not be so late, and almost all of them have left by eleven o'clock.

I am used to getting up early. For the first few days, every morning when I woke up, I would meet a woman who had just returned from work. Occasionally, if I moved too hard, I would be scolded by those people.

After the initial confusion, I slowly began to adapt to this place, and gradually formed my own rules of life.

I will still get up early, and after I wake up, I will sit cross-legged on the bed for a quarter of an hour according to Granny Liu’s teaching, then touch the model five times in the dark, and then lightly go to the pantry to boil the hot water, After rinsing my mouth and washing my face, I went downstairs from the fire stairs at the back to buy breakfast for Granny Liu.

Xiangcheng people love soy noodles, but Granny Liu doesn't like it. Granny Liu only likes to eat pasta. The big meat buns filled with meat and two pieces each are her favorite.

There is only one shop that can buy this kind of steamed stuffed bun. That place is some distance away from the foot bath shop. It takes more than ten minutes to walk. If you want to come back when the steamed buns are still warm, you have to run as fast as you can.

I walked briskly, and then ran back quickly. After running for a few days, my legs and feet became much faster.

After I bought the buns, Granny Liu also got up. I brought hot water and buns to Granny Liu's house, waited for Granny Liu to wash and eat, and then cleaned up the house.

It was already past eight o'clock in the morning, but in this dormitory built on the roof, it was the time when people slept most soundly.

When Granny Liu is in a good mood, she will teach me the positions of the two acupoints. When she is in a bad mood, she will let me review the previously taught acupoints against the model and my own feet.

Then, she would sit cross-legged on the bed and meditate.

After a quarter of an hour, she will fall into samadhi, and her breath seems to be faint.

At this time, I will take out the pen and paper I bought to practice calligraphy.

On the third day I was here, Datou sent me a simple wooden shelf, two small benches and a small table.

I put Granny Liu's precious medicinal materials on the wooden shelf, and the small bench and small table are just enough for me to sit and practice calligraphy.

Ever since I followed Gu Mingyuan, practicing calligraphy for an hour a day has become an unshakable thing. I couldn't stop in Gama Hotel. Now that I have the conditions, I started to practice again.

Gu Mingyuan said that calligraphy is like a person, its shape must be upright, and its spirit must be clear, and when practicing calligraphy is also the time when the mood can be calmed down the most, and the mind is the clearest.

In the first half hour, I would concentrate on every stroke without any distraction, and in the next half hour, I would silently write those ancient books that Gu Mingyuan asked me to memorize, while going through some things in my head.

At noon, I went to the kitchen below and brought back the food for Granny Liu and me. After eating, I cleaned up the foot bath shop and opened the door. If there are guests, I will go down with Granny Liu and help Granny Liu. If there are no guests Come, I will continue to follow Granny Liu to learn the acupoints and tendons, and how to use finger joints for massage.

In the store, I was the youngest, and I used the banner of a big-headed girl, and I followed Granny Liu in and out, and I only helped Granny Liu and did no other work. After a few days, those women had no defense against me. Every face will tell some no-holds-barred jokes.

I don't need to listen to the corner, I know a lot of things.

I know that although this is not the biggest entertainment venue in Xiangcheng, it is also very famous, at least one of the top three big stores, because the big owner of the store is a powerful person.

And these three shops are said to be separate, but they are all connected. Drinking, singing, and foot washing are known as one-stop service.

And each shop will have its own exclusive lady.

The girls on the first floor are dressed in the weirdest clothes and behave the craziest, while those on the second floor have good bodies and voices. Compared with them, these women on the third floor are much more ordinary, or in other words, look much more serious .

Because, half of the customers who come to the foot bath shop really come to wash their feet and rest.

In the store, besides the ladies and the bartenders, there is another kind of people.

They are officially called security personnel, but they are actually just watching the situation and preventing people from making trouble.

Big head and monkey are the security leaders in these two stores.

The big head and the monkey are in the store every day, and their work and rest time is similar to those of the ladies. They go to bed in the morning and wake up in the afternoon. I often see them in the early morning and evening, and only once I saw them both at noon.

At that time, I was coming up from the cafeteria with the meals for Granny Liu and me. I walked upstairs through the corridor on the third floor, and saw the two of them gathered in a large room with a group of security personnel. There were also piles of banknotes.

When I saw it, the people in the room also saw me, and some people looked at the big head and the monkey.

The big head didn't make a sound, but the monkey got up and walked out, closed the door behind him, hooked my shoulders and led me away from the door of the room.

Then, when he sent me to the stairs, he stuffed 1000 yuan into my hand.

When I came here, Granny Liu took me in as an apprentice and helped Granny Liu, but neither Datou nor Granny Liu said how to calculate my salary.

I thought, there is a place to live here and free lunch and dinner, and I still have more than 3000 yuan on me. I just give money to Granny Liu every day for breakfast, and my own daily necessities, paper and pens. support.

So, I never asked either.

It's just that I also know in my heart that even if I am paid, it shouldn't be too much.

After all, I didn't do any real work.

At that time, the monkey gave me the 1000 yuan. I was very surprised and tried to evade it, but I didn't dare to accept the money.

The monkey stuffed the money directly into my pocket, and said lightly: "Take it, you are now Aunt Liu's person, and if you want to pay you, it is tantamount to deducting from her dividend. Aunt Liu is very stingy, and If Aunt Liu doesn't open her mouth, Datou can't raise your salary with the boss, how long can you give her breakfast with your little money?"

"But..." I wanted to take out the money and pay him back.

Even so, there is no reason for me to take his money.

"Hold it, Datou and I brought you here, we agreed to cover you, how can we let you pay for your work for nothing." The monkey pressed my hand, his face could not be seen clearly in the shadows, The voice was also very flat and said: "Your big brother is not short of this money. This month, his income... You didn't see anything just now, did you?"

I shook my head quickly.

The monkey patted my hand on the pocket and said, "That's good. Don't worry. After three months, you can learn from Aunt Liu for another three months. At that time, Datou will let you pick up some ordinary guests alone. You You can make your own money.”

I let out a sigh of relief and said happily to him, "Really? Thank you!"

Half of the customers who come to the store are ordinary customers who really come to soak their feet, but as long as they don't make an appointment with Granny Liu, they will be washed with ordinary medicinal powder and then massaged by those uniformed women.

The consumption of such customers is not high, but as a person, the money for subduing a woman is ten yuan an hour.

For those women, this money is not enough to fit between teeth, but for me, it is a dream income.

The monkey looked at me from the shadows, and after watching for a full minute, he snorted softly, said something stupid in a low voice, and then turned and left.

After that, on this day every month, the monkey will give me 1000 yuan.

Time flies, and the Spring Festival is coming soon.

I have been here for three months, what I should know, what I should not know, I thought, I should know everything.

I thought that I could continue to stay, learn the skills of Granny Liu under the cover of the big head and the monkey, and wait until the day when I can take over jobs independently.

Then, I can support myself and maybe save some money to buy my own house.

Then, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, something happened.
